If we accept that, then that woould come to the conclusion that Jesus founded the Catholic Church and would have to be Catholic

I agree, these were the 12 apostles, but I disagree with any organized religion, Satan infiltrated Christianity after the apostles were martyred, "Satan now" turns "through Scriptures organized religion.

Do not you read all your stuff, to answer the main question:
Why a Protestant to believe in something made from CRC in the first place?

Could it be because the Catholic Church was not founded until many years after the Apostles?

Because someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Catholic Church as we know it began with Constantine.

Because Jesus was not Catholic, which is the first track. Jesus is a Messianic Jew.

First, in Matthew's Gospel, Jesus speaks to the Pharisees referred to the first disciples as priests. When asked why they were picking corn, Jesus makes a reference that priests are exempt from the law. Again Jesus said to St. Peter, that for him the keys to the kingdom of heaven would be given, the keys are the doctrines and teachings. He said to Peter that He would build his Church. The disciples were given the authority to forgive sins, which also applied to the land would take place in heaven. The word Catholic simply means universal, and those living in sub-apostolic age, he taught and lived with his disciples, wrote much and they say the Sacraments, Eucharist, confession and so on. Those things that were taken by Protestants through the Reformation. The first church, founded by Jesus himself, Jesus promised that he would never be beaten. The gates of hell shall not prevail, though the Scripture speaks of a time when it appears this way, ie a chase, resulting in clean, but then the words of our Lord, let us know the gates of hell are trying to destroy the Church. Jesus himself told his disciples that the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven is given to the disciples, the early fathers, and therefore talked about everything people in parables. Regarding the comment that asks if it is preached, it seemed out of order to ask a question and give the story can hardly be called preaching. Josephus, who was not a Christian says that the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70 was God's punishment for the murder of James the Just. Now, James the Just was a Christian leader, therefore, Josephus not only knew well the Christians, but believed that God punished the Jews for killing one of them. Protestants Catholics do not know, and have some strange notions about them. The reform, then came a lot of different churches, I now believe that there are around 3,000 according to an encyclopedia that I have. They do not see that Catholic means universal and that much practice, like the sacraments do not take into account, came from those who were being slaughtered by Rome to be Christian. They have themselves above these martyrs and over who lived and were students of the disciples themselves. They do not understand the Scriptures.

I think it's interesting that Protestants seem to ignore the fact that Jesus was very specific about the fact that he has not come to destroy Judaism / "La Ley", but to fulfill it:
"Think not that I came to abolish the Law or the prophets: I came not to destroy but to fulfill." Matthew 5:17
Given that Jews were priests and worshiped in a temple or synagogue (quite ornate buildings), it seems unlikely that Jesus (who do not want to destroy Judaism) said that priests and buildings were decorated now outlawed.
Besides, in the Acts of the Apostles, is also very clear about the fact that the early Christians continued to go to the temple - that is, not rejected the idea of priests or ornately decorated buildings of worship.

Simple.
We are not Catholics. This was one reason that there are different groups of Christian denominations. I know you say that Catholics are the original Christians and other denominations split from the Catholic Church because the Catholic Church (IMO), doing things as they advanced fans and saying that this is how it would be. The Protestants did not like the idea because they have stricter adherence to the Bible, and separated from the Catholic Church.
I go to Mass every week with my mate, who is Catholic, and we hash this on numerous occasions. The reasons for the state, plus dozens of others, are reasons why there are so many Christian denominations, and the reason that all denominations of Christianity will meet again: interpretation of the Bible and the Church hierarchy. .
